Province of Ulster
During the early 17th century, the first Bradshaw families came to
Ulster and
settled in the newly created estates of counties Antrim,
Armagh, Cavan, Down and Monaghan. Some came through the invitation of land
owners, others through marriage arrangements and as soldiers who remained after
Cromwell's Irish campaign
ended.
